The Essence: A Guided Journey of Discovery through the Bible -- John Pasquet

<p><strong>The Unfolding Story of God's Ultimate Plan of Restoration</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The Bible is the greatest book ever written, and it's more than just a book-it's the very Word of God. It unveils the unfolding story of God's ultimate plan to restore mankind's relationship with Him. The answers to life's deepest questions are found within its pages. It reveals who we are, why we are here, who God is, and how we can know Him. However, for many people, the great riches of the Bible remain undiscovered and its exquisite beauty, unseen. The relevance of the peculiar accounts of ancient people in faraway lands seems just too obscure, yet their thirst for God remains.

The significance of each will be revealed, and you will begin to understand how everything fits together.

In the end, you will hopefully come to know and love both God and His Word much more deeply.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>"</strong>They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was bei
